One Weird Trick to Get More Facebook Likes for Free
Larry Kim
Unless you have a huge advertising budget, paying for Facebook Likes is nowhere near as valuable as it was five years ago. After all, organic reach on Facebook is pretty much dead, right?
However, there is still some marginal value in having a large number of page Likes. If nothing else, Likes serve as a form of social proof. More likes make you appear popular to people who are just discovering your brand. And having more followers gives you a small bit of organic reach.
If you manage a Facebook business page and run Facebook ads, check it out: I've stumbled across a weird hack that allows you to invite real people who have engaged with your content to Like your page – and you don't have to pay a penny. So far, I give the results a big thumbs up.
Facebook's "Hidden" Invite Button
Before going further, I want to be clear. I don't know if this Invite Button is a hidden feature or something that Facebook is testing in beta. This doesn't seem to be available on every Facebook account so you may or may not have it.
Also, what I'll be discussing isn't the invite option Facebook has given us for years ("Invite friends to like this page"). With that option you're limited to only inviting your friends.
No, the hidden Invite button I've found is completely different. It opens you up to reach a new and much bigger audience beyond the people who have already Liked your page.
To find out if your account has access to this Invite button, go to your Facebook Page or the Facebook app (only the regular Facebook app, not the Facebook Pages Manager App, which doesn't appear to have this feature).
Click on the people who engaged with your post. You'll see three types of buttons:
Invite – This is the new button I haven't seen before. Clicking on this will invite the person who engaged with your post to Like your page.
Liked – These are the people who have Liked your page already.
Invited – These are the people who you have sent an invitation, but haven't yet accepted.
Limitations of the New Button
There is a limit to the number of invitations you can send per day. It seems to be somewhere between 500 and 1,000.
Once you've hit your limit, Facebook will tell you as much. Check back in a day or two to see if you can start inviting more people who have engaged with your posts.
Also, the Invite button seems to come and go a bit randomly. Weirdly, it doesn't appear every time. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't.
Generally, I've been seeing an acceptance rate between 15 and 20 percent. That's ridiculously high.
But it makes sense. You're targeting people who have expressed an interest in your page already by liking your updates. I use remarketing so people who aren't connected to me on Facebook will see my ads.
Over the past couple of weeks, I've added nearly 1,000 fans using this Invite button. It isn't spam! You're adding them organically.
What's super funny is people have even sent thank you notes. They feel honored that I invited them to my page!
I definitely like the conversion rate – 1 in 5 people I invite to engage end up liking my page. And you can't beat the price.
When you run a paid Like campaign, you don't know for sure who is going to end up Liking your page. It could just be some random person who doesn't even have interest in your product or service. Totally worthless.
However, with this Invite button, you know people have engaged with your content so they're more likely to Like. Hopefully you can keep biasing them positively toward your brand and turn them from fan to customer.

Q: dropDownList Autocomplete in yii2 In Yii2 I want one of my multiselect field to be autocomplete when user starts to type. I have load all products, but they are more than 1000 and loading is very very slow. So I need a dropdown list that will allow me to type some title of product before it suggests me an options list.
 <?php
     $cats = Product::find()->where('active = 1')->all();
     $prArr = array();
     if ($cats) {
       foreach ($cats as $cat) {
          $prArr[$cat->id] = $cat->title;
       }
     }
     $selectedProducts = '';
     if (isset($_POST['RelProducts']) and ! empty($_POST['RelProducts'])) {
         $selectedProducts = array();
         foreach ($_POST['RelProducts'] as $cat) {
               $selectedProducts[$cat] = $cat;
         }
     }
     ?>
     <?= Html::dropDownList('RelProducts[]', $selectedProducts, $prArr, ['multiple' => 'multiple', 'style' => 'width:300px;', 'rows' => 10, 'id' => 'relProductSelect']); ?>

here is the script:
$('#relProductSelect').multiSelect({
    selectableHeader: "Избери всички
<input type='text' class='search-input' autocomplete='off' placeholder='търси...' style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;\">",
    selectionHeader: "Премахни всички
<input type='text' class='search-input' autocomplete='off' placeholder='търси...' style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;\">",
    afterInit: function (ms) {
        var that = this,
                $selectableSearch = that.$selectableUl.prev(),
                $selectionSearch = that.$selectionUl.prev(),
                selectableSearchString = '#' + that.$container.attr('id') + ' .ms-elem-selectable:not(.ms-selected)',
                selectionSearchString = '#' + that.$container.attr('id') + ' .ms-elem-selection.ms-selected';

        that.qs1 = $selectableSearch.quicksearch(selectableSearchString)
                .on('keydown', function (e) {
                    if (e.which === 40) {
                        that.$selectableUl.focus();
                        return false;
                    }
                });

        that.qs2 = $selectionSearch.quicksearch(selectionSearchString)
                .on('keydown', function (e) {
                    if (e.which == 40) {
                        that.$selectionUl.focus();
                        return false;
                    }
                });
    },
    afterSelect: function () {
        this.qs1.cache();
        this.qs2.cache();
    },
    afterDeselect: function () {
        this.qs1.cache();
        this.qs2.cache();
    }
});

how to hurry the request?

A: Well one of the solutions that would require minimum effort could be to use the option

minimumInputLength: Minimum number of characters required to start a
  search.

it is more efficient to start filtering the results only when the search term is a certain length. In your case, it can create a difference.
As per your comment, you are using the KartikSelect2-multiselect but you haven't added the source code for it instead the js code is for the jquery muti-select but I will provide you the code for server-side implementation
Select2::widget([
    'name' => 'my-dropdown',
    'data' => $data,
    'options' => ['placeholder' => 'Select a product ...', 'multiple' => true],
    'pluginOptions' => [
        'allowClear' => true,
        'minimumInputLength':3
    ],
])

You can adjust the value for the input depending on your requirements.
Hope it helps you out.

Q: Should I seperate model classes or have them as a single unit? My game logic model consists of multiple connected classes. There are Board, Cell, Character, etc. Character can be placed (and moved) in Cell (1-1 rel).
There are two approaches:

*

*Make each class of model implement interfaces so that they can be mocked and each class can be tested independently. It forces me to make implementation of each class to not rely on another. But in practice it's hard to avoid Board knowing about Cells too much and Characters knowing how Cell storing mechanism works. I have a Character.Cell and Cell.CurrentCharacter properties. In order for setters to work correctly (not go recursively) they should rely on each others implementation. It feels like the model logic should be considered as a single unit.

*Make all public members to return interfaces but use exact classes inside (can involve some downcasting). The cons here are such that I should test the whole model as a single and can't use mocking to test different parts independently. Also there is no sense to use dependency injection inside model, only to get another full model implementation from controller.

So what to do?
UPDATE
You can propose other options.

A: Why are these the only 2 options?
If you intend to have different versions/types of the classes then interfaces/abstract base classes are a good option to enforce shared behaviour and generalize many operations. However the idea of building the classes independently without knowledge of each other is ridiculous.
It is always a good idea to separate class storage/behaviour to the class/layer it belongs. E.g. no business logic code in the data layer, etc. but the classes need to know about each other in order to function properly. If you make everything independent and based on interfaces you run the risk of over generalizing the application and reducing your efficiency.
Basically if you think you would need to ever downcast the incoming objects to more than one type it's a good idea to look at the design and see if you are gaining anything for the performance loss and nasty casting code you are about to write. If you will be required to handle every type of downcast object you have not gained anything and using polymorphism and a base class is a much better way to go.
Using interfaces does not eliminate your trouble in testing. You will still have to instantiate some version of the objects to test most of the functions on the cell/board anyway. Which for full regression testing will require you test each character's interaction with both.
Don't get me wrong, your character class should most likely have a base class or have an interface. All characters will (I'm sure) share many actions and can benefit from this design. E.g. Moving a character on the board is a fairly generic operation and can be made independent of the character except for a few pieces of information (such as how the character moves, if they are allowed to move, etc.) which should be part of said base class/interface.
When it is reasonable, design classes independently so that they can be tested on their own, but do not use testing as a reason to write bad code. Simple stubs or basic testing instances can be created to help with component testing and takes far less time and effort than fixing unnecessarily complex code.
Interfaces have a purpose, but if you will not be treating 2 classes the same... that is not it.
*Using MVC gives you a leg up on testing as well. If done correctly you should be able to swap out any of the layers to ease your testing of a single layer.

In Net Station Acquisition you will specify a set of recording parameters and settings unique to your experimental design or clinical protocol that you will use regularly across many recordings. So that you don't have to specify the same settings at the beginning of each session, you can create a Workspace in Net Station Acquisition so that each time you begin a session, Net Station will open with your unique settings and parameters already specified.
The procedure for creating a Workspace in Net Station Acquisition 5.4 has changed. Below you will find the steps involved.
Before you can interact with the software, you must enter alphanumeric information in the Patient ID field and click OK.
Configure your desired settings under the Destination and Hardware Settings control areas. The settings you choose here will affect the output MFF file.
Once recording has begun, many of these settings can no longer be changed. Therefore, any changes made to a Workspace must be done when you are not recording data and streaming is also off.
The settings you choose here, including Scale, Montage, Filters and Polarity do not affect the recorded data or the output file - these are viewer transformations only that are applied during data acquisition for your convenience.
This will prompt you to Name your Workspace.
Name the Workspace and click Create.
The newly created Workspace will now appear in the list of available Workspaces.
You are now ready to begin recording!
Note that there are preconfigured Workspaces as well, including MR, ECI and MR + ECI. Choose ECI if your setup includes an Experimental Control system, such as E-Prime. Choose the MR Workspace from the list if you are running simultaneous EEG-MR studies and your setup does not involve an Experimental Control. Finally, choose MR+ECI if the acquisition does involve experiment control. The given Workspace sets the relevant parameters in the control panels, so it is ready for the corresponding data collection.
Should you make any changes to the Net Station Acquisition settings that you wish to be part of the Workspace settings, ensure that your Workspace you wish to update is selected, and then click Update.
Should you wish to delete a Workspace, ensure that your Workspace you wish to update is selected, and then click Delete.
Note that Net Station Acquisition opens with the last workspace used. To change Workspaces, simply click on the Workspace drop down menu in the General settings area and click on the desired Workspace.

Il sogno del maratoneta (The Dream of the Marathon Runner) is an Italian TV movie produced by RAI television. It is directed by Leone Pompucci and stars Luigi Lo Cascio and Laura Chiatti. It was aired on television as a two-parter. It is an adaptation of the homonym book by Giuseppe Pederiali.

It has been presented at the 26th Festival international de programmes audiovisuels (FIPA) in Biarritz (France) on 25 and 26 January 2013 in the selections Fiction and Compétition.

Plot
The movie is about the story of the Italian athlete Dorando Pietri and restitutes the runner's fortunes and misfortunes at the 1908 Summer Olympics in London.

The start of Pietri's sporting career was a hard one. A passionate long-distance runner, like his brother Ulpiano, Dorando Pietri was rebuffed by trainer Barbisio because he was deemed to be too meager. Still, Pietri takes part in the marathon race at Carpi, his home town, and finishes first, ahead of Pericle Rondinella, the star runner of Barbisio's team. The day later though Rondinella was to beat Pietri in another race. Ottavio, an old but experienced trainer, was following both races and, recognizing Pietri's potential, he hires him to train for the Italian championships. Thanks to Ottavio's guidance Pietri soon becomes Italian champion and is selected to represent his country at the marathon event during the Games of the IV Olympiad, in 1908.

On the D-day, Pietri runs a perfect marathon and is far ahead of his followers. But as he enters the London stadium to run the few remaining yards he is distracted and takes the wrong turn, gets disoriented, staggers and falls, gets up and falls again. The crowd cheers to encourage him standing up, and the referees too encourage him wholeheartedly. Pietri seems just exhausted. But as he sees his competitor, the American Johnny Hayes, entering the stadium, he gathers his very last forces, stands up, runs and collapses right after passing the finish line.

The spectators and family who are following the scene are split in mixed feelings between joy and concerns for Pietri's condition. Will he survive, or was it too much? And then the good news comes: Pietri is safe and sound. But his hour of glory is short. The Americans lodge a complaint arguing that Pietri was supported to stand up. The victory is then assigned to Hayes. Moved by this misfortune, and to express the British people's admiration for him, Queen Alexandra presents to Pietri a cup filled with pounds exactly identical to the one presented to the winner. But can that really be a substitute for a denied victory?

Former Prisoner star to fight sex charges
1995: August 5-11
1995: July 29-August 4
Home And Away heartbreak
Summer Bay newlyweds Shane (Dieter Brummer) and Angel (Melissa George) are about to be dealt a blow with the news that son Dylan (four-year-old Corey Glaister) has leukaemia. The shock news comes after the couple had fought hard to gain custody of Dylan from his natural father, Paul (Ramsay Everingham), after their wedding, and following Angel and Dylan being held hostage by a vicious stalker. "After the stalking, (Dylan's) very tired and can't stop sleeping," George told TV Week. "Angel is with Marilyn (Emily Symons) and looking at Dylan playing with toys… she's very intuitive, very in touch with herself. When she looks at Dylan she has a shiver like someone walked over her grave and she suspects something is wrong. When Angel takes him to the doctor and gets the test results back, she is absolutely freaked out by it." The role is a challenging one for young Glaister, but his on-screen parents have worked hard to make him feel at ease. "He understands so well. He knows exactly what this is all about," George said. "He knows he has to be sick, but he also knows that even though he's playing a leukaemia victim, he can survive."
… but, wait, there's Moore!
TV Week has a one-on-one with Frontline host Mike Moore (Rob Sitch) where he responds to his critics and provides an insight into his role as host of the current affairs show. Here is just some of that interview:
TVW: How do you respond to claims that you're a puppet who arrives at work at 4pm, goes into make-up, reads an autocue, then goes home again?
MM: I respond the only way I know how… by doing a good job — arriving at 10 minutes to four, getting better made-up, reading the autocue to the best of my ability and then going home… I just double my efforts.
TVW: What are your views on Media Watch host Stuart Littlemore?
MM: I think he's cocky, arrogant and smug. That's a view, mind you, not an opinion. I'm not allowed to have opinions.
TVW: Are endeavours being made to alter the show's image? Will that master of mirth, the Friday Funnyman (Frontline's version of A Current Affair's John Clarke), be making a contribution this year?
MM: I'm not sure what the image is, but I'm pretty sure it needs changing. We want it to be more popular, so that will probably involve getting a panel of blokes talking about football. As for Elliot Rhodes (Friday Funnyman), we're thinking of trying something new this year. Comedy.
TVW: Ray Martin seems to have almost exclusive access to big names in the entertainment business. Can you break his hold on such talent? Do you have your own Good Blokes and Top Sorts concept? And given the opportunity for a chat with Hugh Grant, what would you ask him?
MM: I've been away, so I'm not sure what all this Hugh Grant business is about. I'd certainly ask him if he has any money… from what I've heard he had to sleep in his car when he was in LA recently. As for doing Good Blokes type specials, I'd be very keen. Some people have unfairly suggested that Ray's Batman Forever special was nothing more than an ad for a film, but to me it was completely different. Ads run for 30 seconds, Ray's special ran an hour.
TVW: You appeared on Burke's Backyard last year (pictured) and seemed uncomfortable when Don (Burke) sought your views on certain international political events. What did you learn from that experience? Will you accept an invitation to compete in the Sale Of The Century celebrity challenge?
MM: Don and I are good friends, always will be. Obviously, I was a little hazy that day, but I was on antibiotics. I'd love to go on the celebrity challenge, I'd make a complete monkey out of them all. Our network's not keen though… for reasons I don't understand.
TVW: Do you have any words for encouragement for former Real Life host Stan Grant?
MM: Stan who?
The telemovie takeover!
Mini-series, which once reigned supreme in the TV ratings war, today have been largely replaced by the concept of the telemovie series. Following the lead of overseas titles such as Columbo, Prime Suspect and A Touch Of Frost, Australian networks have firmly embraced the concept. The Nine Network has been putting out The Feds, Halifax fp and Singapore Sling telemovies, and has also produced a one-off World War II drama, The Last Bullet, starring Robert Taylor (pictured) and Jason Donovan. The Seven Network has had the Cody series of telemovies featuring Gary Sweet, and ABC is soon to launch a series of 50-minute films about men under the umbrella title of Naked. Taylor, who also stars in The Feds, says the emergence of the telemovie format is more about economics. "Telemovies are very popular with the networks and the finance people," he told TV Week. "I don't think the vote's in yet on whether they are really popular with the public. The first one or two of anything are going to rate all right, but who knows whether it can be sustained?" ABC commissioning editor Sue Smith said that telemovies will be an ongoing focus in future dramas for the national broadcaster, but will tackle different themes to their commercial counterparts. "When we do telemovies, it will be in the area targeting political or social contexts, simply because that's our role as a public broadcaster," she said. But Nine Network program manager Len Downs says the mini-series isn't dead yet. "The mini-series still works," he told TV Week. "We've got stuff in the pipeline that will be two-by-two mini-series for next year. But this year we're looking mainly at telemovies such as Halifax fp."
Hugh graduates to Correlli
When Hugh Jackman was offered a continuing role in Neighbours, he wondered, looking at some of the series' successful discoveries, whether he was doing the right thing in turning it down. Instead, he went to the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts (WAAPA). "I was scared that if I went on to Neighbours without proper training, I would never get back to it," he told TV Week. "I wanted to feel confident about my acting. I know now I made the right decision." Since graduating from WAAPA, Jackman has scored the male lead in the ABC series Correlli, playing the part of prisoner Kevin Jones. "He's a schemer, and he's very smart, a kind of enigmatic character," Jackman said. "He tries to manipulate the system by pretending he has psychological problems, so he doesn't get sent to maximum security. Through that he meets Louisa Correlli (Deborra-Lee Furness). There's an instant recognition between them that they're on a similar mind level, and they challenge each other all the time."
Rhoda wrong about rights role!
When actor and journalist Rhoda Roberts (former host of SBS' recently-axed Vox Populi) was offered a guest role in Blue Heelers, she wasn't keen to accept. The role was that of an Aboriginal Affairs advisory officer. "I wasn't going to do it," she told TV Week. "I thought, 'Here we go, another stereotypical Aboriginal role'. Then when I read the script, I thought, 'Oh no — this is okay'." Roberts plays Michaela Drew, who is called in when the Blue Heelers are investigating the disappearance of Aboriginal artefacts from the home of Colonel Thomas (Bob Hornery). "Michaela is the new breed of Aboriginal, who has been to university, has done well and who has a conscience about her Aboriginality," Roberts said. "I liked the role because she's not a flag-waving radical. There's nothing wrong with being like that, but on screen it tends to paint a stereotype."
No sooner had Nicole Kidman's sister Antonia start a new job on the production of Mulray, that suddenly it came to an abrupt end, as host Doug Mulray walked out after the first episode of the returning series. But she has since picked up a new job at Nine, as researcher on the new This Is Your Life, to be hosted by Mike Munro.
The Nine Network will be hoping that Derryn Hinch's upcoming special on diets will fare better in the ratings than his previous program on rape.
Following the successful Vision For A Better World telethon for World Vision last year, hosted by Larry Emdur and Jo Beth Taylor, it has been confirmed that there will be another telethon this year. Taylor is also hoping to visit Africa again for another World Vision special.

"There are people cynical enough (no, no, no… not me!) to suggest that those who run television stations should have consulted psychologists — and, in some cases, psychiatrists — long ago. Why it has taken quite so long remains a mystery… but now it has happened we're in danger of being swamped with them. Psychologists, that is. The Nine Network has Jane Halifax (Rebecca Gibney). The ABC recently introduced Louisa Correlli (Deborra-Lee Furness), a clinical psychologist who works with the inmates at Blackstream Prison, doing overtime to prevent herself becoming romantically involved with one of them. For a really different psychologist, however, it took the British to come up with a Dr Fitzgerald. Fitz, as he has become known, is the central character in Cracker, a series which has had a difficult national profile in this country because of its fragmented programming by the Seven Network. Cracker has been running for some time in certain areas of Australia, but appeared only recently in others. Unfortunately, it is a situation the network cannot avoid because of the AFL commitments which are so vital to its overall results, especially in Melbourne."

In mortgage financing, a reverse mortgage refers to a financial transaction in which a property owner mortgages their property to obtain a loan. The loan is paid out in installments throughout the mortgage term.
This differentiates a reverse mortgage from a conventional mortgage in which a loan is obtained to finance a property and repaid in equal installments throughout the loan term.
In a reverse mortgage, the mortgagee (a bank, insurance company or pension fund) gives you money in exchange for a portion of your home equity. The debt is secured by your property.
Typically, total interest charges are deducted from the amount paid for your home equity before it is paid out.
Only a small number of Swiss banks provide reverse mortgages. These are listed in the moneyland.ch guide to reverse mortgages.

Traveling Back in Time in Switzerland

UK and Switzerland Sign Post-Brexit Business Travel Deal
By Mary Clark
December 14, 2020 Updated: December 14, 2020
biggersmaller
The United Kingdom and Switzerland signed an agreement on Dec. 14 to allow professional workers to travel freely between the two countries after the Brexit transition period ends on Dec. 31.
The UK–Switzerland Services Mobility Agreement will allow UK professionals, such as accountants, consultants, lawyers, and IT experts, to continue travelling freely to Switzerland and work visa-free for up to 90 days a year.
The agreement has closed "a looming gap," as the free movement of persons between Switzerland and the UK will cease to apply as of Jan. 1, 2021, Switzerland's Federal Council said in a media release when the deal was approved on Dec. 4.
Britain's International Trade Secretary Liz Truss said in a statement: "This deal between two services powerhouses is an important part of our mission to be a global hub for services and technology trade.
"It supports a services relationship that is worth over £17 billion [$22.8 billion] and provides much needed certainty for thousands of UK businesses and professionals," she said.
Switzerland is not part of the European Union but chose to join the EU's Schengen Area of visa-free travel in December 2008.
End of Free Movement
The UK Parliament passed a bill last month to end the free movement of people between the UK and the EU.
From Jan. 1, 2021, British citizens who intend to travel to Switzerland for work, study, or business will need to meet the entry requirements set out by Switzerland.
But under the new Services Mobility Agreement, "UK professionals will be able to do business as they do now and will not face economic interest tests, work permits, or lengthy processing times for the first 90 days," the UK government said.
This agreement will benefit Britain's finance, consultancy, legal services, the tech sector, and the creative industries, which are vital to the UK economy, it said.
Truss said it will bolster the UK's standing as a "global leader in services," reinforce trade in key sectors, and benefit "businesses of all sizes, from big firms to small start-ups and self-employed professionals."
The two countries have also committed to work together on the mutual recognition of professional qualifications.
Miles Celic, CEO of TheCityUK, called the agreement "a positive outcome."
"Given Switzerland's place as one of the UK's largest trading partners in services, we hope that this will be a further important step towards an ambitious and comprehensive Free Trade Agreement between the two countries in the future," he said.
Truss echoed his remarks, saying that she hoped the agreement "will pave the way for an enhanced UK–Switzerland deal."

LONDON — The lords and baronesses of the United Kingdom won't stop Brexit — but they will have a shot at shaping it.
In the House of Lords — made up of some 800 peers who are appointed rather than elected — members are working across party lines to clip the government's wings when the the bill governing Britain's withdrawal from the European Union reaches the chamber early this year.
Most peers acknowledge that trying to thwart or wreck government legislation would result in a showdown they would ultimately lose. As unelected politicians, they are wary of overriding a democratically elected government and House of Commons. If they go too far, the government could curtail their powers.
But after the European Union (Withdrawal) Bill arrives from the House of Commons, some peers will try to further curb executive powers allocated to the government under the legislation — and bolster the pressure on ministers to hold a parliamentary vote on any Brexit deal.

Peers on all sides of the House of Lords say they expect more high-profile moves — such as trying to get the government to revoke its official message to Brussels that it is leaving the EU if a deal has not been agreed by a certain date; trying to force another referendum on Brexit; and trying to keep the U.K. in the EU's customs union. But such moves are less likely to achieve the required support.
The government will have to work with peers across the chamber to get its legislation through as it does not have a majority there. Of the 794 peers, 248 are Conservatives, 198 are Labour and 100 are Liberal Democrats. Smaller parties also have representatives in the Lords and there are 182 crossbench peers, who are not in any party group. What nobody doubts, however, is that the EU (Withdrawal) Bill — to transpose EU legislation into the U.K. statute books — will be passed.
On the 10th day of Christmas, POLITICO presents this guide to 10 lords likely to be leaping into the Brexit spotlight, based on interviews with nearly a dozen members of the second chamber and others familiar with members' deliberations.
1. Igor Judge (crossbench) and David Pannick (crossbench, pictured)

Former Lord Chief Justice Igor Judge and high-profile human rights barrister David Pannick are both member of the influential House of Lords constitution committee. They are already forensically quizzing the government about the EU (Withdrawal) Bill powers and the role of the U.K. parliament if no Brexit deal is reached with the EU. Any amendments to the bill with the backing of the respected judges will likely receive wider cross-party support in the chamber. A crossbench peer and former civil servant, who did not want to be named, said a report on the bill due from the committee was "likely to work its way into the list of things a cross-party coalition would want to change."
"The Henry VIII powers [allowing government to change some laws without consulting parliament] are going to need some revisiting and there are some very distinguished legal minds in the Lords like Lord Pannick, Lord Judge and many others," he added.
2. Dick Newby (Liberal Democrat)
The leader of the Liberal Democrats in the House of Lords has a very long wish list. He wants to curb government powers to create quangos as a result of Brexit. He also wants to address concerns that the Brexit deal could see Northern Irish citizens granted EU citizenship while the rest of the U.K. population has no such option.
His party will also have another go at forcing a second Brexit referendum — this time on the terms of Prime Minister Theresa May's ultimate deal with Brussels. While defeat is likely on that measure, he said he is confident it will get more support than the 131 peers (mainly Lib Dems) who backed the move when the party tried to attach it to legislation allowing the government to trigger Article 50 last March.
"What I am seeking to do is build up a momentum so that at the end of the day we get the referendum," he said. "If I can go from 131 to a number significantly greater than 131, I will be able to claim that this demonstrates opinion is shifting. If that is borne out or reinforced by what is happening in published polls, it is a drumbeat."
3. Angela Smith (Labour)

With no government majority in the House of Lords, what the opposition Labour Party does is crucial.
Smith, the party's leader in the Lords, insists the chamber should not seek to derail or destroy legislation, but acknowledges passions will run high when the bill gets there.
"Some ardent Brexiteers accused us of trying to wreck the [Article 50] bill while some ardent Remainers said we weren't doing enough to wreck it," she said.
Labour will pick what it supports carefully — trying to avoid accusations of overreaching while also attempting to inflict cross-party defeats on the government.
A second Brexit referendum is unlikely to win official Labour Party support — although 22 Labour peers backed it in March.
"What we will do is approach the legislation like any other put before us — forensically, with a focus on detail. And, where necessary, we will challenge the government, including trying to pass amendments that give MPs the opportunity to further review the small print and its potential consequences," Smith said.
4. Andrew Adonis (Labour)

Former Labour Cabinet minister Andrew Adonis resigned last week from his role as the government's infrastructure czar, warning he felt "duty bound" to oppose the Brexit bill "relentlessly from the Labour benches."
He branded it "the worst legislation of my lifetime."
Adonis has made no secret of the fact that he would like Britain to abandon Brexit. He traveled to Brussels last year with Ken Clarke, the only Tory MP to vote against triggering Article 50, and former Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg (author of "How to Stop Brexit") to meet the EU's chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier. He tweeted after the visit: "Clear from discussions in Brussels on Monday that UK can stop process of leaving EU whenever it likes before end March 2019. We should do so."
Freed from the shackles of government office, he is unlikely to sit on his hands.
5. Rosalind Altmann (Conservative)
Tory rebels will be a headache for government whips already struggling without a majority in the Lords. Pensions expert Ros Altmann, ennobled and given a ministerial job by former Prime Minister David Cameron, is one of that group. She does not mince her words when it comes to Brexit and has little fear of the government whips.
She was one of two Tories who backed the Liberal Democrat amendment in March for a referendum on the Brexit deal and she warned she would walk away from the Tories if they pursue a "hard Brexit."
She told POLITICO the House of Lords would be seeking to ensure parliament has the final say on Brexit.
"If we believe something in the legislation is wrong, it is our duty to send it back to MPs and ask them to reconsider. Mindful of the monumental importance for future generations of getting Brexit right, the Lords is unlikely to be receptive to bullying over a restricted timetable or vigorous whipping to toe the party line," she added.
6. Patience Wheatcroft (Conservative)

The former editor of the Wall Street Journal Europe is another key Tory rebel who backed the Liberal Democrats' call for a second referendum.
Liberal Democrat Dick Newby believes Wheatcroft and Altmann could be joined by other Tories in rebelling against the government. Listening to speeches in the Lords and canvassing opinion at Christmas drinks parties, he says the mood against the government is hardening.
"Our estimate is that those numbers have increased quite a bit. There were a number of Tories who were very pro-Remain who were sort of giving the government the benefit of the doubt and saying we have to start the Article 50 process. Some have made very hostile speeches to the government," he said.
7. Michael Heseltine (Conservative)
The former deputy prime minister was among the Conservative peers who voted to give parliament a veto over the final outcome of Brexit negotiations when the Article 50 bill made its way through parliament. He was sacked from a government advisory role as a result. But he has not been tamed. He suggested last month that a Labour government led by Jeremy Corbyn could be less damaging than Brexit. A crossbench peer told POLITICO he believed Tory rebels like Heseltine were "likely to grow [in number] quite substantially in my view."
"There are quite a few people who either stayed away or voted with the government on Article 50 who are now very disturbed and upset and the more the Daily Mail assails people like Dominic Grieve [the former attorney general who rebelled against the government in the House of Commons], the more likely they are to be upset. I would say there are likely to be more."
8. Martin Callanan (Conservative)
European Parliament/ Creative Commons 2.0
As a result of various government reshuffles, Callanan became the third Brexit minister from the House of Lords in four months. Since his appointment in October, he has already had to apologize to peers for saying incorrectly that the Supreme Court had ruled Article 50 cannot be revoked.
His ability to extract concessions from the government will be vital if it is to avoid defeat and see a smooth passage through the upper house.
In a sign of the conciliatory mood the government is adopting (for now), an official close to the government said it would be "open to suggestions for improving or tightening" the EU (Withdrawal) Bill.
But peers are not convinced that Callanan will get much room for maneuver. One crossbencher suggested the government would rather suffer defeats in the Lords than give much ground to its opponents.
9. John Taylor (Conservative)

As the Conservatives' chief whip in the House of Lords, Taylor will have a key role in steering the EU bill through the chamber.
Members of the House of Lords generally get there through patronage, rather than by working for many years for a party. That makes maintaining party discipline more tricky.
Taylor, whose family owns a flower bulb business in Lincolnshire, is well-known for providing pot plants to peers across the political divide. Amaryllis bulbs at Christmas and daffodils in the spring are found in Lords leaders' offices.
Newby describes Taylor as "a genial chap who is as hard as nails."
10. John Kerr (crossbench)
ECFR/Creative Commons 2.0 via Flickr
Lord Kerr, the British diplomat who helped draft Article 50, has repeatedly claimed Britain's notice of departure could be revoked. His involvement in drawing up the now famous text and his extensive EU experience — including as Britain's ambassador to the bloc — mean his speeches and views are closely followed in the House of Lords.

IP Update, Vol. 13, No. 1

Editor: Marc S. Weiner, Esq.
Interim Guidance on Patent Subject Matter Eligibility
On December 16, 2014, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) published Interim Eligibility Guidance (linked here) that offers the USPTO's current view of subject matter eligibility in line with the U.S. Supreme Court decisions in Alice Corp. [Alice Corp. Pty. Ltd. v. CLS Bank Int'l, 573 U.S.__, 134 S. Ct. 2347 (2014)], Myriad [Association for Molecular Pathology v. Myriad Genetics, Inc., 569 U.S. __, 133 S. Ct. 2107 (2013)], Mayo [Mayo Collaborative Serv. v. Prometheus Labs., Inc., 566 U.S. __, 132 S. Ct. 1289 (2012)] and related case law. This December 16, 2014 Interim Eligibility Guidance supplements the June 25, 2014 Preliminary Instructions in view of the Supreme Court decision in Alice Corp. and supersedes the March 4, 2014 USPTO procedures issued in view of the Supreme Court decisions in Myriad and Mayo. Since this is Interim Guidance, the USPTO is seeking public comment and suggestions.
In addition, the USPTO provided a set of explanatory examples relating to nature-based products (linked here) to replace the prior examples issued with the March 2014 Procedure and related training.
Additional explanatory examples relating to claims that do/do not amount to significantly more than a judicial exception will be issued at a future date.
It should be further noted that the June 2014 Preliminary [Alice] Instructions (linked here) superseded MPEP sections 2106(II)(A) and 2106(II)(B). MPEP 2105 is also superseded by the December 16, 2014 Interim Eligibility Guidance to the extent that it suggests that "mere human intervention" necessarily results in eligible subject matter. MPEP 2106.01 is also superseded by the December 16, 2014 Interim Eligibility Guidance.
The new flowchart, as shown on page three of the 2014 Interim Eligibility Guidance Quick Reference Sheet (linked here), shows the subject matter eligibility analysis for products/processes to be used during examination for evaluating whether a claim is drawn to patent-eligible subject matter. The analysis set forth in the December 16, 2014 Interim Eligibility Guidance is to be used across all technologies.
Step 2 represented in diamonds (2A) and (2B) is the subject of the December 16, 2014 Interim Eligibility Guidance. Step 2 is the two-part analysis from Alice Corp. and is also called the "Mayo test" for claims directed to laws of nature, natural phenomena and abstract ideas (the judicially recognized exceptions). In step (2A), a claim is directed to a judicial exception when a law of nature, a natural phenomenon, or an abstract idea is recited in the claim. Such a claim is said to require closer scrutiny for eligibility because of the risk that it will "tie up" [see Mayo, 132 S. Ct. at 1301] the excepted subject matter and pre-empt others from using the law of nature, a natural phenomenon, or an abstract idea recited in the claim. For claims directed to nature based products, the nature-based product in the claim is compared to the naturally occurring counterpart to identify "markedly different" characteristics based on structure, function, and/or properties.
This revised analysis is different than the prior USPTO guidance because now changes in functional characteristics and other non-structural properties can evidence markedly different characteristics, whereas in the prior March 2014 Procedure only structural changes were sufficient to show a marked difference. The analysis proceeds to Step (2B) only when the claim is directed to an exception (when no markedly different characteristics are shown). In Step (2B), the analysis determines if any additional elements in the claim add significantly more to the exception. Gone from the December 16, 2014 Interim Eligibility Guidance is the balance factor analysis set forth in prior Guidance.

Changes to Allow Delayed Submission of Certain Requirements for Track I Applications
The Final Rule for filing a Track I examination published on November 14, 2014 (linked here).
Previously, upon filing a Track I application the following was required:
Inventor's oath or declaration.
All required fees.
The application could contain no more than four independent claims, thirty total claims and no multiple dependent claims.
If a request for Track I prioritized examination failed to meet these requirements, then the request was dismissed.
However, effective November 14, 2014, the final rule provided the following:
The filing of an inventors' oath or declaration may be postponed in accordance with 37 CFR 1.53(f)(3) if an application data sheet meeting the conditions specified in 37 CFR 1.53(f)(3)(i) is present upon filing. [The oath or declaration must be filed no later than the date on which the issue fee for the patent is paid].
If an application contains more than four independent claims, more than thirty total claims, or any multiple dependent claim, the USPTO notifies the applicant and provides a non-extendable one-month period to file an amendment to cancel any independent claims in excess of four, any total claims in excess of thirty, and any multiple dependent claim.
Any excess claim fees due under 37 CFR 1.16(h), (i), or (j) and any application size fee due under 37 CFR 1.16(s) is not required to be paid on filing. [These fees must be paid prior to the expiration of the time period set for reply by the USPTO in any notice of fee deficiency in order to avoid abandonment.]
Significantly, the USPTO maintains the requirement [1.102(e)(1)] that an application for which prioritized examination is requested MUST include payment of the basic filing fee, the search fee, and examination fees upon filing, or the application will NOT be eligible for Track I. Also, the application must be filed via the electronic filing system [EFS]. Further, upon filing the application, the fees for prioritized examination set forth in 1.17(c), the processing fee set forth in 1.17(i)(1) and the publication fee set forth in 1.18(d) must be paid or the application is not eligible for Track I.
Finally, any request for an extension of time will cause a Track I request to be dismissed or cause an application to lose Track I status.
This rule change was initiated by the USPTO to reduce the number of requests for prioritized examination that must be dismissed.

Jack Brabham, whose final victory came in the 1970 South African Grand Prix when he was 44, chose that season to retire as a driver. The Brabham team was sold to Bernie Ecclestone and Jack returned home to Australia, where he busied himself running a farm, a car dealership and an aviation company, and helped his sons with their racing careers. His contribution to British motorsport was officially recognised in 1985 and he became Sir Jack Brabham. He passed away peacefully at his home in May 2014, aged 88.

Authorities in New York state have launched a manhunt for two prisoners who broke out of maximum security at the Clinton Correctional Facility — the first escape from there in its history.
"Both are considered to be a danger to the public. If located DO NOT approach them," the posting said.
This May 21, 2015, photo released by the New York State Police shows inmate David Sweat, 34.
Governor Andrew Cuomo, who had been scheduled to attend Saturday's Belmont Stakes in Elmont, instead spoke to reporters at the prison in Dannemora. He said the prisoners, in adjoining cells, used power tools to drill through the back wall and crawl through the opening Friday night.
Authorities said the men left clothing in their beds to make it look as if they were asleep and to fool the guards who checked on them every two hours. The guards did not discover the escape until 5:30 a.m. Saturday.
This May 20, 2015, photo released by the New York State Police shows inmate Richard Matt, 48.
The prisoners scaled a catwalk and used power tools to drill through metal walls and a steam pipe, which took them to a series of interior tunnels. They emerged in the open air through a manhole cover in the street, Cuomo said.
"This is the first escape from the maximum security portion of the institution ever since 1865," the governor said. "So by definition, it was an extraordinary act." He posted pictures on his Twitter page of the escape route the two prisoners took.
More than 200 law enforcement personnel were involved in the manhunt, as well as canine units and helicopters.

Woody Allen addresses Dylan Farrow allegations in previously unreleased interview
Europa Press News/Europa Press via Getty Images
(NEW YORK) — Woody Allen addressed allegations of sexual abuse in an interview with CBS This Morning taped in July, 2020.
CBS released the interview — billing it as Allen's first in-depth, on camera American interview in nearly 30 years — on Sunday and it is currently available on the Paramount+ streaming service. It comes weeks after the debut of the HBO documentary Allen vs. Farrow.
Allen, 85, says in the interview, that [Mia] Farrow "believes" she is telling the truth about her previous allegations that Allen sexually assaulted their daughter Dylan when she was a child.
"She was a good kid. I do not believe that she's making it up," he says. "I don't believe she's lying. I believe she believes that."
"It's so preposterous, and yet the smear has remained…Nothing that I ever did with Dylan in my life could be misconstrued as that," Allen continues.
"There was no logic to it, on the face of it," he insists. "Why would a guy who's 57-years-old and never accused of anything in my life…suddenly…drive up in the middle of a contentious custody fight at Mia's country home [with] a seven-year-old girl…on the surface, I didn't think it required any investigation, even."
In a statement, CBS News said the interview was shelved because of last summer's "active news cycle" and is being released "given the renewed interest in the controversy surrounding the filmmaker."
"The interview, which occurred last summer during an active news cycle, is being presented now given the renewed interest in the controversy surrounding the filmmaker," according to the statement. "The exclusive for Paramount+ offers the ability to explore Allen, his career, and the allegations in context and with the depth that this story demands."

On a more serious note, the North Pole really is moving.
The Magnetic North Pole is racing towards Siberia and so much so that the US Government had to recently somehow adjust GPS.
There's even talk of airports having to renumber their runways — as I understand it, runways are identified by the first two digits of their (magnetic) compass headings.
And there is something called a "polar inversion" where the North and South poles *reverse* — it has happened in the past and we are overdue for another one….

Reverend, you forgot to switch accounts.
Of course it is. This is neither controversial nor unexpected. The North Pole rotates once per day, and proceeds around the sun with the rest of the Earth once per year. The North Magnetic Pole is also completely separate from the North Pole.
That's pedantry at it's "finest". Should he have said "shifting" yea, but so what. And besides, every few thousand years the earth's magnetic polarity reverses.
no native speaker of English will ever notice that the first time….

Beef isn't even a number, but prime rib is #1. Which isn't prime, either…
It could be prime … or it could be choice.
Dan S.
I thought this would be about the difference between the Prime Meridian marked at the observatory in Greenwich, and the one your GPS will tell you about. They are a few feet apart.
Few *hundred* feet, last I read up on this.
(For anyone who wonders, the issue is that the area around Greenwich has gravitational oddities based on the density of the ground and what's underneath it, so the simple plumb bob originally used to find it didn't point straight downward, and that threw stuff off.)
In this case, Prime does not mean the same thing as "prime". Here, Prime means "first", which means you still have a complaint that the first meridian is at 1 degree, not 0 degrees. After dealing with this, can you do something about the fact that there are 3 "primary" colors.
Zero is a number — and you technically should start counting at zero.
How is that better than starting at minus one million?
There are good arguments for starting counting in different places. Consider the difference between Centigrade temperatures and Kelvin. Starting counting at 0 instead of 1 helps avoid some problems involving negative number math…such as for example, being able to answer the question of how long it is between 1BC and 1AD? (1yr.) In general, computer programmers start counting at 0 because it saves storage space.(If you need to be able to store either "1" or "2", you need two bits for that, but you only need 1 bit to tell "0" from "1"
santamonica811
Is that true about 1 BC to 1 AD? I never knew that. (And, I have to admit, never thought about it before.) I echo Eugene and call math shenanigans. (Which is even more serious than regular shenanigans.)

Yes. There is no year zero in the Gregorian Calendar.
The day before 1/1/0001 AD was 12/31/0001 BC

But the shift to the Gregorian calendar moved New Year's Day from …. some date in the spring … to January 1st. So the day before 1/1/0001 AD was 12/31/0001 AD.
Jesus was born during the reign of Herod the King, who ruled from 9BC to 4BC.

This is not absolutely true. There is a year zero in the astronomical numbering system, and also in ISO 8601. Hindu and Buddhist calendars also have a year zero.

Computer languages start counting at zero, because in early languages the index was also the offset multiplier. The first element was at memory_address + zero * (size), second element was at memory_address + one * (size), etc.
It has absolutely nothing to do with saving storage space.
Considering that your explanation involves saving storage space, you look foolish at this point.
Count your toes starting at zero, and tell me how many toes you have, without doing any additional arithmetic.

Supposedly Cantor had an argument at a railway station about whether he should pay for five luggage items or four. Said his wife, "Georg, clearly we have five bags!" Replied Cantor, "Nonsense, look, zero, one, two, three, four!" And the stationmaster let them proceed paying for just four, since clearly such simplicity was holy.
"Count your toes starting at zero, and tell me how many toes you have"
FACT: Some people objectively have 0 toes.
Does the number line start at 0 or 1?
Depends on who made it and for what purpose.
Well, since 'Prime' means 'most important', and 1 was invented before 0, then from an historical and evolutionary perspective, I suppose you're correct.

If you are interested in the number zero, The Nothing that Is: A Natural History of Zero by Robert Kaplan is a very good read.
What does the definition of "prime" have to do with who made a number line?

Akin to someone thinking the Attorney General is in the military.
How about the Surgeon General? Don't tell me he's in the army!
Does the Judge Advocate General outrank a light colonel?

Shenanigans… or elliptic verse?! Perhaps both appropriate for the mighty Zero of The Brāhmasphuṭasiddhānta.

"Prime time", aka "Greenwich time", is also known as "Zulu Time", because "Zulu" = "Z" in the NATO alphabet, short for "zero". Current Zulu time is 21:11.
"Prime Time" starts at 8pm in the Eastern Time Zone.
Well now I feel stupid – I've always just figured the term Prime Meridian referred to the quality of the meridian and it's always been on my bucket list of places and things to go see. I've already seen the world's smallest ball of twine (well, there's some dispute over the titleholder) and been to the seventh-highest spot in all of Kansas, why wouldn't I want to go see the world's finest example of a meridian?

They're all imaginary. The lines are on the map, not on the Earth.

Per my dead tree version of Webster's New World Dictionary, "prime" has seven definitions as an adjective, and six as a noun. Which one is funny?
Zero not prime? Depends on the definition (tongue firmly in cheek here): one is that primes have no factors less than themselves and greater than one, by which zero qualifies as prime .
Zero is evenly divisible by all integers.
To be sure. But that reflects another, different, definition of primality (that a prime should have only itself and one as divisors).
Zero doesn't have itself as a divisor.
Except for one integer, specifically, 0.
